Engine Maintenance

Engine Safety

•
Keep your hands, feet, face, clothing, and other
body parts away from the muffler and other hot
surfaces. Allow engine components to cool before
performing maintenance.
•
Do not change the engine governor speed or
overspeed the engine.

Servicing the Air Cleaner

Service Interval: Before each use or daily—Check
the air cleaner for dirty, loose or
damaged parts.
Every 250 hours—Service or replace the
air-cleaner foam element (more often under
dusty, dirty conditions).
Every 500 hours—Replace the air-cleaner
paper element (more often under dusty, dirty
conditions).
Note:
Service the air cleaner more frequently if
operating conditions are extremely dusty or sandy.
